Reminders from Hurricane Sandy


The recent wrath of Hurricane Sandy really put things into perspective.  Thankfully, the team at Petrocelli Marketing was spared any severe damage.

Now that the rebuilding has begun, we've had a chance to reflect on how businesses can create awareness with promotional products and help their customers, clients and communities keep safe all year long.    

MUST-HAVE SUPPLIES 
As the fallout of Hurricane Sandy begins to be fully realized, the concept of disaster preparedness comes to the forefront of the news.  In our industry, we've seen an increase in orders for safety supplies.  Companies have learned the importance of providing safety items, such as:



Safety Kits
Print a safety message on a first aid kits, or hand out emergency kits with water bottles for a safety-inspiring giveaway!





Flashlights
Flashlights will definitely come in handy in case there is power failure.


Communication Items
When people lose all power, they lose their lifeline to the outside world.  In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we watched stories on the news about people crowding around locations that had power
and plugging their cell phones into power strips.  Imagine if they had a solar charger (with your logo)?!  During these times, cell phones are indispensable tools in case there is a need to get in touch with authorities or family.




Blankets
No power?  Keep warm with a customized blanket!

 


Auto Safety Kits
Emergencies can strike at any time, but with custom auto safety kits, recipients will always be prepared.  From car care journal sets to travel tire inflators, we've got the life savers you need.


FUNDRAISING
Promotional product giveaways and sales can help rebuild communities and strengthen morale after such devastation.


It will be months before residents along the East Coast get back to normal after Hurricane Sandy. Many community organizations and businesses are facilitating fundraising efforts for those affected.Promotional products provide many ways to raise easy money --  items such as mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, drawstring backpacks, tote bags, and calendars are inexpensive to buy in large quantities and they are also popular items to sell or giveaway for fundraising events.

Turn safety into a way of showing your appreciation for customers and clients!
